[Dems2008] Obscene: NINETEEN soldiers dead in a week

The death raised to at least 19 the number of American troopers killed in Iraq since last Sunday.

 

American casualties have risen with an outbreak of fighting in Baghdad between U.S. and Iraqi forces and the largest Shiite militia — the Mahdi Army of anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.

 

Al-Sadr, who is believed to be in Iran, repeated on Saturday his demand for American soldiers to leave the country and urged his fighters not to target fellow Iraqis "unless they are helping the (U.S.) occupation."

"Major combat operations in Iraq have ended.

In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed. And now our coalition is engaged in securing and reconstructing that country."

Geo. W. Bush, May 1, 2003
